Iowa State is a dog here, but are a terrific all-around team with great offense, depth and an excellent coach. The Cyclones are deeper and more talented than they've ever been under Fred Hoiberg. Iowa State is the Big 12’s top scoring team at 80.9 points per game and the Cyclones are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning record. The Cyclones are ranked #17 in the AP poll - their school-record 27th week in a row in the top-25. Iowa State has also outrebounded nine of 12 opponents. West Virginia hasn't really been tested, even losing at home to LSU as a favorite. The Cyclones lead the all-time series 3-1, but last year’s loss in Morgantown was the Cyclones' worst loss of the season (102-77). Look for some payback and grab the dog in this even game. Play Iowa State.
